- Class Description:
- The course covers the chemical processes that distribute matter among the solid, liquid, and gas phases of soils and sediments. Concepts from inorganic chemistry, aquatic chemistry, and mineralogy are central to the course. Surface chemistry of minerals, aqueous chemistry of metals, the carbonate system, and oxidation-reduction reactions catalyzed my microorganisms are emphasized. The course is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in earth and environmental sciences. Course participants learn in a supportive and collaborative setting through in-class activities, lectures, peer mentoring, and regular problem sets.
